The Quicky

After nearly two weeks of mourning and ceremony, we've finally laid Queen Elizabeth II to rest. So, now we turn our attention to the reign of King Charles III but what kind of king is he really going to be? Is he the environmental warrior just trying to uphold his late mother's ideologies, or is he the spoiled little rich boy we've seen glimpses of this week? In today's episode, The Quicky team takes a look at what we know about Charles and the man he is, and what we can expect as he takes the throne out of the Elizabethan era and into his own.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Today, we lay to rest Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the woman, who for many for us has been the only monarch we've ever known, reigning over the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for 70 years. But mourning the Queen is not a simple affair, torn between admiring a woman who was thrown into a life she never planned on leading, doing her job dutifully for her entire life, while also living a privileged and comfortable existence with money that has a long history of colonisation and oppression.  For some, she is a grandmother figure, to others, she is an oppressor. And for those who are feeling sadness right now, they may be wondering why on earth they are grieving a woman they've never met.  In this episode, we look at the complicated process of mourning Queen Elizabeth.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

While according to astronomers, spring hasn't actually sprung just yet, hay fever sufferers and the annual black and white terrors of the skies might disagree. Yes, it's magpie swooping season, where cyclists in particular are subject to sometimes daily dive bombing by magpies looking to protect their springtime nests from those devils on two wheels. Today, The Quicky team finds out why magpies have decided we are a threat even when we have no idea where their babies are and whether we can actually become friends to stop our winged attackers.

Some said it was disrespectful, some say it was the time... but where do you stand on Australia becoming a republic? In the hours after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away, the Australian Republic Movement released a statement with comments from its chair, Peter Fitzsimons. While the timing of the statement's release may have been the subject of some backlash, are they right? Today The Quicky team discusses whether now is the time to have the republic discussion.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
